About article:
In the present essay, the author compares cultural and political situation of the two nations – Slovaks and Slovenians. He deals with literary and political relationships of both nations after 1867, monitoring cultural collaboration fostered by the Slovenian and Slovak Maticas (i. e. leagues for national advancement) as well as by the Slovak Museum Society. Economic cooperation between the two nations in the 70s of the 19th century is also included. The author analyzes period journilistic articles concerned with social and literary events on the other side. Slovak-Slovenian contacts are presented through life stories of individual Slovaks who had settled in Slovenia and also through several personalities maintaining mutual relationships, personally or in correspondence. The chief personality of the essay is Ondrej Bella, the first known translator of Slovenian belles-lettres into Slovak. In the conclusion, three letters of Ondrej Bella addressed to Gregor Krek, kept in the National and University Library in Ljubljana, are presented.
